People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"Oh, let me tell you, I heard that the chocolates made at Chuidu Mountain Villa are the best at bringing couples together."

Sonoko whispered something in Ran's ear with a grin, intending to pique Ran's interest, but unexpectedly, the next second, Ran, after realizing what she meant, excitedly asked:

"Oh~ So, you want to give the chocolates you made yourself to Mr. Kyogoku, and then confess your feelings to him, right?"

"Ah? Ah... I... this is what I planned..." Sonoko's tone suddenly turned low halfway through her sentence, and her eyes gradually became pitiful.

Seeing this, Xiaolan, who is good at reading the atmosphere, noticed that her best friend was acting strangely, so she asked, "What's wrong, Yuanzi?"

After thinking for a moment, Sonoko sighed deeply and replied with a somewhat dejected tone, "Ama has been really lately. She hasn't called me at all, and even when I do, all I hear is a voicemail."

"No way???" Xiaolan said in surprise, and at the same time she understood why her best friend was so sad.

Come to think of it, if someone you like suddenly treated you like that, it would be hard not to imagine the worst possible outcome.

Then, Sonoko continued, "Actually, it's all my fault. When I gave him the sweater last time, I missed a chance to confess my feelings to him. Later, I told him on the phone that I was going to make a chocolate by hand for Valentine's Day."

"That's it." Conan, sitting to the side with a deadpan expression, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"If only I had told him back then that the chocolate was for him..."

Sensing that her best friend's mood was starting to change, Xiaolan quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, as long as you give him the chocolate, he'll know how you feel."

“Ran is right.” At this moment, Akemi, who was sitting in front, also spoke up. “Besides, I can tell that Makoto Kyogoku really likes you. He doesn’t seem like the type to do something like this to cause a scene.”

Listening to Ran and Akemi's words of comfort, Sonoko paused for a moment, and finally gave a slight bitter smile.

"Looking at it this way, Xiaolan, you really are strong."

"Huh?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.

"Take me for example, I've only not spoken to him for a week, and I'm already in so much pain. You and Shinichi, it's been even longer, right?"

"...Actually, I'm used to it. Besides, I can live a good life even without him by my side."

[Waaaaah~ I feel so sorry for Xiaolan!]

Xiaolan is truly like an angel!!!

What's the difference between this and living as a widow?

At this point, Sonoko turned her attention to Akemi in the seat in front of her, and said with a hint of envy, "As expected, I still envy Ayami-nee the most."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Akemi, who was mentioned, was somewhat taken aback.

"Look, Ayami-nee, Asakawa-nii is such a good person. He can cook, speaks politely and is very classy. Most importantly, he has always been by your side."

"Yeah, yeah!!" Ran nodded affirmatively, agreeing with Sonoko's words.

"Unlike us, we barely see each other a few times a year..."

At this moment, Akemi finally understood why Sonoko had said that. Gradually, her expression softened, and her tone of voice became gentler.

"Actually, I know myself that I rely on Ayu a lot. No matter what I do, the first thing that comes to my mind is 'If it were him, what would he do?'"

Perhaps it's because of Ayu's gentleness that you feel envious of me, but what I really want to say is that everyone encounters problems in relationships to some extent. I think Kyogoku Makoto may also have his own things to do, which led him to neglect you.

But as long as you continue to like him, like you said, when the time comes, give him the chocolates you made yourself. I think he will be very touched.

With guidance from her senior, Akemi, Sonoko finally regained her confidence and stopped feeling frustrated and lost.

Amidst the commotion, Kogoro Mouri gradually drove the car towards their destination...
